note: this is purely conceptual. this isn't guaranteed to get started any time soon. just read how it works, and provide feedback. we still need to work out who's gonna do the dirty work, of updating the board

Ladder Tournament

If you are not on the board, you start at the bottom. You may challenge the person up to 3 places above you. If you win, you gain their rank, and they gain yours. If you are challenged, and you decline, then you won't be able to challenge a person above you until you accept a challenge from below you, this rule only applies if you decline a challenge from a trainer below you. Battles are standard OU rules, you may choose a different tier, but it has to be agreed upon by both competitors.
